"Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say" Yeah, I'd say that's not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.
In the long run it'll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.
Pretty much all of the comments I've seen on Lemmy about a TikTok ban have been about how it's political theater and would ultimately be pointless in preventing data harvesting.
Well... I mean, people donated to the charity for anti-crime reasons and that led to a police officer being charged for embezzling from that charity. Therefore, the charity is working as intended and as such police officer is not actually guilty of a crime. Quad ergot defenestration.
They can't. The only thing propping up the ludicrous stock price is the myth of "Elon Musk, Super genius" and the legions of Musk fanboys. If they kick Musk out they lose both and the stock will tank. So they've got to keep him in place, even as he runs the company into the ground.
Nah, they're hoping to kick off the rapture. Both so they can both mock all the unbelievers as they ascend into heaven as well as assuaging their deep seated anxiety about the hollowness of their faith.
I still like Skyrim, it's a great "Run around, steal stuff and stab people" simulator. But the Bethesda Fallouts have never really clicked with me. Three was okay-ish, NV was in the "good-ish once you get used to the jank" range and 4 felt like a grab bag of half finished ideas. Since 76 seems to to be mainly drawing from the FO4 well, I never bothered playing it.
Yeah, I was mainly just mocking Linda Yaccarino's attempt to force "It's all happening on X" as a catchphrase while the site spirals down the drain. That being said, while the amount of crazy and hatred seems to be going up on every platform, X seems to be outperforming most other sites at becoming a toxic cesspit.
The 67-year-old chair of the real estate company Van Thinh Phat was formally charged with fraud amounting to $12.5 billion — nearly 3% of the country’s 2022 GDP.
Wow, when your fraud starts being measured in "percentage of GDP" you know you got too greedy.
Amusingly Grok also spat a headline about how police were being deployed to shoot the earthquake after being exposed to a sarcastic tweet. https://i.imgur.com/qltkEsU.jpeg
Yeah, I've never liked teflon either. The coating always seems to get scratched up no matter how careful you are with it (and some of those flakes end up in your food). But some people swear by it, so I could see them getting angry about a ban.
Eh, at least this will reduce the amounts of PFAS being produced. I mean, teflon pans at least actually have a useful purpose, rather than things like PFAS coated burger wrappers.
That opens up the possibility of vegan cheese, butter, etc. but as true dairy products.
There actually are vegan dairy-ish products out there. Several startups have inserted the gene for casein (the main protein in milk) into yeast. So you just harvest the casein, add a little bit of some sort of fat and sugar and you have something that's 99% the same as milk, and can be used in the same sorts of processes.
The only product that I've actually tried was some Brave Robot ice cream, which was well... ice cream.
